“Jesica was easy to work with. We had a fabulous meet and greet prior to Samson’s visit. During Samson’s stay with Jesica, we received plenty of photos and reassuring updates that he was doing well. Jessica is clearly a caring dog sitter who welcomed Samson into her home. We felt very comfortable knowing Samson was in her care.”

“Edith and her husband are absolutely amazing! They take such wonderful care of Henry, and every time we leave him with them, we have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. One thing we really appreciate is the thoughtful communication. The updates and photos are the perfect balance—frequent enough to reassure us that Henry is happy, comfortable, and well cared for, but never excessive. They always include just the right amount of detail, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. It’s obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat Henry like part of their own family. We always come home to a happy, well-loved pup, and we couldn’t ask for a better experience. We highly recommend Edith to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”

“They were absolutely amazing with Heidi! She’s a senior pup, and even after she had a lot accidents in their home (I was so embarrassed 🤦🏽‍♀️), they didn’t hesitate to work with her. Instead of refusing to care for her, they came up with a great solution, and everything went smoothly for the rest of her stay. They even said they’d be happy to have her back! They are such a kind, understanding family, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”

“Cynthia was amazing! It was the first time we’d left our dog with someone other than family; not only did she make it easy to leave our dog, she made it fun! Her updates and photos made it feel more like sharing our dog rather than leaving our dog behind. Cynthia was patient with our shy dog, such that despite it usually taking awhile to warm up to people, our dog seemed comfortable after just a short time. We would absolutely leave our dog with Cynthia again!”

I could tell, both from the pictures and from Freya’s great mood when I arrived for pick up, that she had fun and felt comfortable with Marlene. I was thrilled with Marlene’s services, and I would trust Freya with her any time. I highly recommend Marlene to anyone!!”

About: Hello! I was fortunate enough to grow up in a home that always had a myriad of animals. Taking in and caring for strays was something my parents encouraged. As an adult, I adopted my five dogs (including bringing three home with me from Morocco after I finished my Peace Corps service) and three cats. I was also a foster parent with Underdog Pet Rescue for years where I had the privilege of caring for dozens of dogs and cats in my home and setting them up for a happy life with their adopters. In addition to dogs and cats, I have pet-sat for families with chickens, pot-bellied pigs, and various reptiles and amphibians. I am happy to care for any creature (only thing I am unable to do is snakes that require live feedings). I own my house and have a large, fenced-in backyard. I work from home and create my own schedule so I am easily able to accommodate most drop-in times as well as give your loved one plenty of attention and love if they’re boarding with me. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. Thank you! Lizzie (+ Bogey, Runty, Dolly, Tipsy, Nikki, Pabel, and Pushkin) I work from home as well as make my own schedule. This allows me quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to serving your pet with their known and preferred routines. My home is chaotic, no doubt, with my seven beloved pets. Still, all have years of experience at being foster siblings and temporary hosts for dozens (possibly hundreds at this point) of foster pets and boarding clients over the years. I like to allow my pets as much freedom as possible as long as they both feel and are safe. Messes happen and it’s no big deal! I raise my own animals as well as care for others’ with patience, understanding, and genuine joy.

One of the best sitters I have ever encountered! Christine welcomed Ollie and I into her lovely home and have us a tour including the large, fully fenced backyard. Her dog, Birdie, is very sweet and she and Ollie became fast friends. Christine sent very detailed updates and lots of pictures throughout the stay so I knew Ollie was having a great time and being spoiled. She even did a beautiful little cardboard painting of Ollie which was so sweet and she's very talented! Cannot recommend her enough!!

Gumbo was a luxury 5-star retreat with Marlene and her doggy Emma. I could tell he didn’t want to leave! Marlene is extremely kind, flexible, and thoughtful. She even recommended a dog food. Gumbo has lots of play time at both the dog park and in Marlene’s backyard, which is fenced in. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting!

Leaving our velcro dog behind is always hard, being left by her emotional support humans is harder. But Holly and Ana were so good with her, she got all the snuggles and was treated like one of their own. They gave lots of updates that let me know she was adjusting well.

My dog Lola seem to have an amazing time. All the dogs they were caring for were very friendly with a lot of room to run. It was nerve-racking, leaving my dog however, my dog seem to have the time of her life lol. I will rebook with them whenever I need dog care and would recommend anyone doing so as well

Alicia was great with Ginger! Since Ginger is a senior dog, I wanted her to stay in a caring home rather than a kennel. Alicia kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, and I could tell my girl was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the great care she gave her and would definitely book again.

Mikaela took excellent care of our pup, Luna. Her home truly became Luna’s home away from home this summer. We loved receiving pictures from their walks, and Luna and Mikaela’s pup, Theo, became the best of friends! I also appreciated Mikaela’s flexibility when our travel plans were in flux. She is a wonderful sitter and so easy to work with. Luna’s looking forward to her next stay at Mikaela’s!

Jen took SUCH good care of our pup! She was so caring and thoughtful. She was everything you’d want from someone watching your dog - communicative, responsible, kind. Our dog comes with some specific instructions/medication and she handled it all with ease. We hope to book with Jen again soon!
